Fun show. Great to hear your thoughts on the style. Couldn’t agree more that Hoegaarden is very under-appreciated. Another excellent example of the style is Allagash White, which is my personal favorite.

I have to defend the “hotdog” beer comment in this case. I find that bad Wit beers often taste like hotdog water, since a major flavoring spice in hotdogs is coriander.

As for Blue Moon, it’s the only beer of those you reviewed that uses sweet orange peel, as opposed to Curaçao orange like all the others. This may be why you guys (and girl) were detecting so much orange flavor.

Yeah, it was a super fun show to do. Kinda reignited my love for wits.

Hotdogs: I get that. In fact, tonight we recorded our pilsner episode (holy shit, it ran wild) and we had a beer that was distinctly hotdog-water-like (and corrianderiffic). I’m sad Grant missed it.

Good info about Blue Moon. It was on my information sheet, but that stuff often gets lost in the shuffle of 4 people trying to figure out what they’re tasting. It’s a runaway train of a show sometimes, but to me it’s as important that this show is as fun as it is informative. Sometimes one will overtake the other.

And thanks for the pronunciation corrections. I’ll practice. I hope it sticks.

Cheers!

PS: If you ever want any of the brews we get in TX that you don’t, let me know (much love for seekabrew.com). I’d be happy to trade with you.
